Prediction, this time next year Souttar will not be being spoken of as some sort of back up, he'll be a mainstay this season and will 100% have people eating their words.
Grossly underrated on here for whatever reason, having him and Goldsons passing ability from the back is going to be a great weapon and both are very good defenders.
If his achilles didn't explode in the past, you would probably be talking about him in that way as a defensive mid. I don't think people realise just how talented he was as a kid. Andy Robertson and him are best mates, and Robertson would say John would have had a better career if not for the injuries.
He's turned into a class centre half - his actual ability on the ball is something else. I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised when he goes on a solo run and smashes one in from about 40 yards next season. He loves to try that!
